Machine is well built, supplies a little less so

This was purchased as a gift for my wife and she's completely happy with it. The machine itself is a tank.all parts seem heavy duty and I can't imagine doing any kind of damage to it. The process to build the buttons is pretty straightforward though we did have to refer to the instructions several times.The only problem I have with this order was the included button making supplies. The circle cutter is like a 5 cent piece of junk and I'm not real impressed with the plastic button bakings. They

Pros
  • Sewing
Cons
  • The machine is too noisy

Wonderful! for my opinion

I'm so in love!I definitely made sure to read the other reviews left by other customers, and thanks to those reviews I was able to get this working right away! I can’t wait to make buttons for my friends and family!It’s definitely good to research before getting something like this, I looked around for at least three hours nonstop. But I’m here to let you know that if you read the product reviews and definitely pay attention to the instructions, this button maker is perfect for beginners! It’s…

Pros
  • 25mm button size is perfect for a variety of uses
Cons
  • The machine is not reliable

The cutter they sent WILL NOT cut a circle small enough to match the size of the mylar included and required to make the 1 inch buttons.The cutter included is also a pain to use because it likes to slip after about 75% of the circle is cut, but I can work around that. I cannot work around the fact that the circles are too big to fit into the machine and I have the cutter set at the smallest setting. It is sad because it is only too big by about 2mm but that makes all the difference when the…

Pros
  • FOR ACCURATE BADGE MAKING - Metal slide plate is more accurate for fast slide track operation and high success rate. The raised part prevents the die from slipping out of the machine while accurately positioning the badge.
Cons
  • The button parts are not compatible with other machines

Mismatched parts make it unusable .

This stemmed cylinder is supposed to fit into the press to make the buttons. Unfortunately the one I received has a stem that is too large and will not fit into the press barrel with the notches lined up no matter how much pressure you put on it. I think it may be a cylinder from another size button maker or it was just machined improperly . Either way the button maker is useless. I bought this as a birthday present for my niece. When our trip to see her was cancelled due to covid I just held…

Pros
  • Can be used to create custom badges for businesses or events
Cons
  • The machine doesn’t work on other button sizes

Trial and Error best in my review

We had a lot of trial and error with this machine, for 3 days. we finally got it to work, but we needed to adjust the coils underneath, adjust the metal pieces in the back so the switch would move, and the main problem was that your image needed to be slightly smaller than the mylar (clear rounds) in order for it to crimp down on the button correctly. We use a hole punch for our buttons and purchased a 1 3/4 size to have it work correctly. Anything smaller and it won't hold the plastic backing…

Pros
  • Comes with 1000 button parts supplies to get you started
Cons
  • The pins are not secure enough

Fun and easy to use.

This button maker is very easy to use and a great value. It is very helpful to have so many supplies included. We found that putting the art on the shield first helps to keep it in place (static electricity works wonders). My kids are having a blast making buttons to give away at festival.

Pros
  • NOTE: 1. Due to material fitting issues, the other button parts may not be suitable for BEAMNOVA maker machines, and BEAMNOVA's buttons may not be able to work for other brands of machines. It is recommended that you only purchase BEAMNOVA brand products. 2. If you get stuck during the making of the button, use a wrench to adjust the position of the mold so that the upper and lower molds are completely aligned after pressing the handle. Please refer to pictures or videos.
Cons
  • The parts are not well made

Didn't work, tried and tried and couldn't get a button to work. Watched YouTube videos and tried and tried more, and finally gave up. I've owned other badge makers and they worked easily, we got a used Tecre and it works so easily. This just wasn't made well enough to attach the pieces together. And the plastic backs felt really cheap, my daughter didn't think she could sell them for as much if they had worked.

Pros
  • HIGH-QUALITY METAL MATERIAL - Cast iron body and Fiber Reinforced Plastics base for easy and sturdy operation. The ergonomically designed handle with a comfortable grip allows fast and labor-saving badge making. Aluminum rails for a bright outlook and are resistant to corrosion. Recommended Paper: 100g/m2-157g/m2 (coated paper or color ink-jet paper).
Cons
  • The instructions are not clear

My beamnova button maker 75mm must have been a defective. 3 out if 10 buttons would come out ok. But I had to literally take me time aligning the base to top before pulling lever. Even then a button dropped on floor and it fell apart. The instructions seem easy to assemble as well as the YouTube videos. But one side of the base I couldn’t get to the pin. The base that slides left and right is unstable. When pulling lever down on the button the first base it is not adhering the metal back to the

Frustrating piece of garbage

I went through at least 40 attempts with this thing and couldn't make a single button. Yes I made sure I only had one piece of mylar, was using regular paper (not photo or anything thick), and everything was lined up correctly, but the fronts would not make contact with the backs, no matter what I did. Using more or less force didn't matter. I even tried adding a second pin back to the die to add more height, which allowed the front and back to (somewhat) connect, but even those buttons were…

Pros
  • This is easy to use and comes with everything you need!
Cons
  • The pins break easily

Button Maker Works Well

I bought this as a gift and was concerned that it wouldn't work out of the box. No need to worry as it worked very well and continues to work great. Made about 30 or so buttons so far. It will take a long time to get through all of the included button materials. Just watch videos on similar units and pay close attention to how many clear button cover slips you pull off (too easy to get more than 1).

Pros
  • I use this all the time. I could make buttons for days!! Love it!
Cons
  • The button parts don’t stick together very well

I did everything per instructions but over 3/4 of my badges are being bent flat when applying the backing.(This is their 1 1/4" machine which is no longer listed on Revain!)I do note the area that is not crimped properly is always the same area so this would imply the die has a defect. I even examined the badge after step one and the left and top die DO crimp correctly. It is when applying the backing the dies fold flat the top edge, ALWAYS THE TOP EDGE of the badge. I have tried very light…

Pros
  • Creates high-quality, professional-looking pins
Cons
  • The pinback is not comfortable to wear

Comes with 1000 buttons!

Didn’t realize this comes with 1000 buttons! Was surprised and now we will make buttons for every event! Very sturdy and easy to use.

Pros
  • Helps you express your creativity and individuality
Cons
  • The machine requires too much maintenance

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I’ve made 20 buttons and now it’s broken!

I’ve made about 50 buttons (with a lot of wasted ones), 4 months and now it’s broken. Thanks for attention! Don’t waste your money.

Pros
  • I'm in love with this machine! Works great and super easy to use
Cons
  • The included design templates aren’t great

Bad instructions in box

Edit: This does work. it took several hours of trying to figure it out. the instructions in the box fail to mention how the dies need to be twisted at each interval for it to work.Does not work as advertised. The pieces do not work together. Unfortunately for me I left it on my desk too long so now I can’t return it.

Pros
  • This product is very high quality and worked just as it says it would - absolutely love it !!
Cons
  • It’s not as easy to use as advertised

I’ve wanted one of these for ages

This badge maker is terrific. Be aware: the backings for the badges are plastic and not metal, and I haven’t found metal backings for it yet.

Pros
  • Makes a great gift for artistic friends or family members
Cons
  • The button parts rust easily

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to use. good for me

Would have given 5 stars but the cutter broke the first try so we have to had cut each image. Also, there the holes drilled in the mount base are the same size as the screws and one of the screws won't thread to the base. But, the machine works fine anyway.

Pros
  • Wide range of creative possibilities, limited only by your imagination
Cons
  • The machine’s parts can get lost easily

Highly disappointed

It’s leaving little gaps when attached both parts togetherHaving this machine almost a year now and just started using it on a regular. This machine has been giving me problems left and right! A 150 button order turned into almost 250 due to the fact every 4 or 5 buttons the 6 th one comes out not cramping over the bottom part. It’s taking us longer than usually to make a decent button. Wasting a lot of material trying to make a button. Have to use HEAVY PRESSURE. I’m thinking it’s has…

Pros
  • Gives artists and hobbyists complete creative control
Cons
  • The machine is not suitable for beginners

U.S. buyer beware on my review.

There are no compatible circle cutters/punches to be found in U.S. The paper cutter included in the button maker set is cheap and broke after a few uses (blade fell right out). The only cutters I found that would work ship from China with exorbitant shipping fees. If you are going to want to use a paper punch, get a button maker with U.S. compatible sizes. Specifics: makes a 44 mm pin, which needs 54 mm paper circle (2 1/8').

Pros
  • Saves on printing costs for creating custom-branded merchandise
Cons
  • The machine’s design is not attractive

Missing bass for my opinion

I absolutely love this BUT it did not come with the base and cannot get ahold of the manufacturer for a replacement. That's my feedback!

Pros
  • A few mishaps when pressing the buttons, but mostly effective.
Cons
  • The button parts are difficult to cover

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great item for the price.

The item was easy to build, even though it was a bit troublesome to make it work at the beginning, ended up working great. However I do recommend to make the images bigger than 1.25in. As it does not cover the whole button at the moment of making it.

Pros
  • Encourages artistic expression and creativity
Cons
  • The finished pins sometimes come out crooked
